Conventional Anilox Rolls
Conventional anilox rolls meter and transfer a controlled volume of ink to the printing plate in flexographic printing systems. Precision engraving and durable surface coatings ensure consistent ink transfer and long service life in corrugated printing applications.

Anilox Sleeves
Anilox sleeves provide the same ink metering function as traditional anilox rolls but are designed to mount over lightweight mandrels for faster changeovers. Sleeve systems are commonly used in modern flexographic presses where reducing downtime is critical.

Rubber Wiper Rolls
Rubber wiper rolls help regulate ink distribution and remove excess ink within the metering system. Proper roll hardness and surface consistency are essential for maintaining uniform ink film thickness.

Rubber Feed
Rubber feed rolls are used in corrugated printing systems to pull the sheet into the print section while maintaining proper alignment and traction. The correct rubber hardness and dimensional tolerances help ensure the board feeds smoothly without skewing or being crushed during production.

OC™ Opticell™
OC™ is ARC’s highest-capacity anilox cell geometry, designed for maximum ink transfer and heavy coverage applications. The 60° hexagonal pattern creates deep cells with high packing density, allowing the roll to carry and deliver large volumes of ink or coatings
OC™ is commonly used for solid flood coats, white ink laydown, corrugated printing, and heavy adhesive or coating applications where maximizing ink volume is the primary objective.
HV™ High Volume
HV™ geometry balances high ink volume with improved doctor blade support and ink circulation. The 70° cell angle and rounded “U” shaped bottom create a wider opening that allows ink to circulate more freely and reduces friction between the blade and roll surface.
This geometry is well suited for high-speed production environments, combination print jobs, and applications where blade wear or cell plugging are common concerns.
HG™ High Graphic
HG™ cell geometry is designed for high-resolution flexographic printing and fine graphic detail. These cells are produced using multi-hit laser engraving to achieve consistent cell structure at very high line count
HG™ excels in process color printing, small text, fine line work, and detailed packaging graphics where thin, controlled ink films are required for accurate reproduction.
HD™ High Definition
HD™ represents ARC’s most advanced cell geometry, using layered 3-D laser engraving to create hybrid cell structures that optimize ink release and print clarity.
This geometry is designed for premium flexographic printing applications, including high-end packaging and jobs where flexo is competing with offset or gravure print quality.
Carbon Fiber Chamber Systems
Carbon Fiber Chamber systems regulate ink delivery to the anilox roll while housing the doctor blade assembly that meters the ink film. Proper chamber design improves ink containment, reduces contamination, and helps maintain stable ink conditions during production.
Modern chamber systems are designed for consistent ink circulation, reduced waste, and improved press efficiency in demanding flexographic printing operations.
Doctor Blades
Doctor blades meter ink on the anilox roll by wiping excess ink from the surface and leaving a controlled volume within the engraved cells. Proper blade selection helps maintain consistent ink transfer, reduce waste, and protect the anilox roll during production.
DotScope®
DotScope® is ARC International’s digital inspection technology for evaluating anilox cell condition and performance. Using high-resolution imaging, DotScope allows operators to measure cell volume and identify issues such as plugging, wear, or damage that can impact ink transfer and print quality.
Routine inspection helps maintain consistent printing results and extends the life of anilox rolls.
Delivery & Shipping
Precision rolls require careful handling during transport to protect engraved surfaces and maintain dimensional accuracy. Precision Roll Solutions coordinates secure packaging and reliable shipping to ensure rolls arrive protected and ready for installation.
Our team works closely with customers to manage delivery schedules and minimize production downtime.
